The purpose of this article is to conduct an axiological and legal analysis of the most popular model of participatory (civic) budgeting in Poland (the plebiscite model). According to the adopted hypothesis, some legal and practical solutions concerning the plebiscite model strengthen public values, while others weaken them. In the research, the combination of three coherent methods was used: (i) a literature analysis, (ii) the dogmatic and legal method, and (iii) interviews conducted with municipal officials responsible for the organization of participatory budgeting (PB), municipal councillors and residents (BP participants). The research covers six Polish cities: Sopot, Gdańsk, Białystok, Kraków, Opole and Warsaw. The axiological and legal analysis of the principles and mode of BP was made using a catalogue of nodal public values, namely values with a significant number of related values (including: human dignity, sustainability, citizen involvement, openness, secrecy, compromise, integrity, and robustness). The research leads to the conclusion that the plebiscite BP in Poland is not axiologically neutral, its principles and mode have both a positive and negative impact on particular nodal public values. The scale of negative impact is definitely greater than the scale of the positive one, although, obviously, the assessment in this respect, even if supported by arguments and scientific analysis, will always remain at least partly subjective.

The purpose of this article is to conduct an axiological and legal analysis of the most popular model of participatory budgeting in Poland (the plebiscite model), being a special form of public consultation that allows the residents to decide each year on a part of the commune’s budget expenditure by direct voting. According to the paper’s hypothesis, both the PB legal rules as well as the practice of its application in Poland are not axiologically neutral, which means that they have a positive or negative impact on certain public values, appropriately strengthening or violating them. In the research, the combination of three coherent methods was used: (i) a literature analysis, (ii) the dogmatic and legal method, and (iii) interviews conducted with three groups of PB participants, i.e. municipal officials responsible for the organization of PB procedure, municipal councillors, and residents. The research covers six Polish cities and bases on a catalogue of nodal public values including: human dignity, sustainability, citizen involvement, openness, secrecy, compromise, integrity, and robustness. The research leads to the conclusion that the plebiscite BP in Poland is not axiologically neutral, its rules have both a positive and negative impact on particular nodal public values, however the scale of negative impact is greater than the scale of the positive one.

W tekście zaprezentowano wyniki badania ankietowego przeprowadzonego z udziałem 1 217 pracowników administracji publicznej w Polsce. Jego celem było określenie kulturowych determinant wprowadzania reform zgodnych z zaleceniami Nowego Zarządzania Publicznego (NZP) i New Public Governance (NPG) w polskiej administracji. Wyniki świadczą m.in. o tym, że polscy urzędnicy niechętnie akceptują wdrażanie mechanizmów konkurencji w urzędzie oraz że preferują rozwiązania typowe dla logiki hierarchicznej. Wśród czynników sprzyjających wprowadzaniu reform zidentyfikowano wyższy niż w całej populacji poziom deklarowanego zaufania oraz świadomość, że obecny stan administracji publicznej w Polsce jest niezadowalający. Przeanalizowano również, w jaki sposób przekonania urzędników zmieniają się w zależności od miejsca zajmowanego w hierarchii administracyjnej, oraz porównano ich przekonania z deklarowanymi przez ogół populacji Polaków.

The paper is based on an opinion survey of 1217 Polish public administration employees, which was conducted in order to asses cultural determinants of the successful introduction of the New Public Management and the New Public Governance reforms. The results show that Polish public administration employees are not very eager to accept the implementation of competitive mechanisms in their workplace, and that they prefer solutions rooted in the hierarchical logic. It was concluded that factors positively affecting the probability of successful reforms are: the level of trust, which is higher among them than among the general public, and high awareness of the present dismal state of the administration. The opinions shared by the public administration employees were also compared with those expressed by the general population; regional differences in opinions were also analyzed.
